SUMMARY:Calling It Like It Is: Uncovering and Dismantling Racism in the Waldorf Movement
DESCRIPTION:The protests that followed the killings of members of our Black communities in spring 2020 served to wake many people up to the realities of racism in America—realities to which the Waldorf movement has not been immune. Accepting the fact that racism exists within Waldorf education and taking on the work of recognizing and eradicating it from our classrooms is a goal to which we must commit ourselves if we are to truly educate our children (and ourselves) toward freedom. \nCalling It Like It Is: Uncovering and Dismantling Racism in the Waldorf Movement was first presented by Sunbridge in September 2020. The need for and interest in the event proved to be so widespread\, it has been repeated to new audiences several times since. This workshop is an encore presentation of that original event. \nDescription  \nOver the course of three one-and-a-half-hour sessions taking place virtually in real-time on Friday evening and Saturday morning and afternoon\, this workshop will: \n\nDefine and articulate the ways many Waldorf school curricula center whiteness and set it up as an ideal\, to the detriment of all;\nUse the frameworks of racial identity formation and biography work to better understand how we become who we are in a racialized society and how that impacts our engagement with the children in our care;\nShare practical tools\, resources\, and success stories with the goal of dismantling racism in Waldorf schools and communities.\n\nRegistrants will be sent advanced reading material. \nFacilitators \nKeelah Helwig is currently an early childhood educator and chair of the Early Childhood program at The Waldorf School of Garden City (her alma mater). Keelah has served as chair of WSGS’s College of Teachers and is a founding member and chair of its Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion Committee. She is proud to be a founding member of the Sunbridge Diversity Fund Scholarship Committee and is also a Board trustee of Sunbridge\, AWSNA\, and WECAN.
